Ay Toad, since I seen you just posted, where can I find that paint program you made? Do you have a temploate on that thing of a 48 Chevy?

I have the business coupe. Can I do a flame job on that program? Also how much is it and will you take a check? If so then let me know and I will send you out a check when I get the info. Can you just do the paint on it or can you change rims, etc? Sorry for all the questions and off topic but I have been wanting to ask you about this and keep forgetting and I have an idea for my car but can't find any other ideas on other cars that I wan't...

We salvaged a hundred year old bar from a tavern that was being renovated across the street.
I want to do something unique on the bar top.
I have a bunch of old car keys, ads, pictures and old titles from the 30's that I'm think'n about embedding in a clear resin on the top.
Am I stupid for putting the titles in there?
Any other ideas on what I might include to keep with the automobilia theme?
Oh Very COOL idea!!!! It would be neat (in my opinion) to add photos or copies of vintage photos that include people with their cars...I remember my grandparents having a picture of them with their 1st car they bought together after they got married in the late 30's...it's not antique...but i'd send ya a 70's ad for a Trans Am he he he...i kept thinkin i'd frame it but never did...OH, that gives me another idea...famous movie cars...lol Oh anyway, Where are you going to put the bar...and will it still be used as a "bar'?Quote:

GREAT suggestion to include old family photos!
Now I have to go through the family photo albums.
The bar is now in the old "Parts Room" of the old Studebaker dealership that we are renovating.
yes ...we will use it as a bar...already "christened" it!
Thanks

Tom,
The title thing can get a bit touchy. In some states it may not be a problem to "recycle" a title. In our state it's a class C felony. The "recycled" title thing is at the root of the big hubbub in California right now that has prompted the state to recall titles/registration on a goodly number of Cobra folks, and led to the infamous raid on Coddington's, and probably others.
There are legitimate collectors of titles who just want them for display (at least that's what they claim), sorta like expired stock certificates. It's pretty much your call as to whether you want to risk getting involved in any potential problems down the road. I suspect other states will be watching California and copying their crack down. It would make interesting conversation around the bar though.
Another thing to consider is old matchbook covers with an auto theme. You can sometimes find a box load at an antique store or garage sale for not too many dollars. If you can find them the ration stickers from WWII are also neat automotive items. I think they've been repoped too.
Speaking of stock certificates, if you found one for Studebaker that would be cool. I have an old Hudson Motor Co one I would be interested in contributing for the Embedment Cause if you're so inclined.
Tom ~ I just remembered that there is an old mural in the downtown area where I live. It's a big brick wall and on it in faded chipped lettering is a graphic for an old Studebaker dealership that must have been there at one time. I could take a pic of it sometime for you if you think you might use something like that
This is a clip from a local paper:
"Commercial history exposed. Repair work on the west wall of the Good Earth building on Seventh Street has exposed advertising signs for some long-gone Holland business, including a Studebaker dealership. Our feedback to building owner Rick Mosher: Leave the old signs exposed as a testament to Holland's commercial history."
And this is a link to an article about the owner of that dealership...

It might be fun to get different Studebaker Memorabilia from old dealerships...since that's where you live...Just another thought.
Have Fun!
